Snow Cannons

Hi All,
Flying out on Wednesday 26th as a party of 8 complete newbies and wondered if we could expect the snow cannons to be back on in time for our trip with this little drop in temp that's been forecast? Also, what's with these snow forecasts ? Are they actually using any software models to predict what's coming, or are they just like "using the force"??
Cheers and hope to see some of you guys out there.
Andy

re: Snow Cannons

Hi Andrew
We may see canons on before Wednesday but that dependent on the temp dropping to -4 for them to operate. Fingers crossed. As for the forecasts I don't know where they are finding them. If they are using 'the force' it needs re-tuning!
C u on the 1st in Bobbys if your there

Cheers Guy's, were off to Borovets and although I can see the snow has come down up high it looks like the lower slopes are going to need a little help from the cannons.
